Hi everyone, since this is my first big bikepacking tour (planned for 10-13 days), I'm still inexperienced with route planning.
The biggest differences between the two options would be that, for picture 1, I would cycle left around the Ötztal Valley along the Inn River to Lago di Coma, and for picture 2, I would cycle right through Bolzano and Verona to Milan. Also, for the first route, I wouldn't cycle along the coast to Nice, but rather via Cuneo, then take a pass there and arrive in Nice from the north (I've heard it's supposed to be incredibly beautiful there, and it would be incredibly cool to have a pass with me). The other route goes via Savona along the coast to Nice.
I'm also open to adjustments (detours are welcome), or opinions or experiences on which route would be nicer (:
Thanks! (I'll of course take you along when the time comes (it starts in mid-August!)

Last week on my tour I rode the route via Milan, Genoa to Nice along the Riviera. I’ve never had so little fun bikepacking as I did in those three days. Can’t recommend it to you
Have you looked at the Eurovelo routes?

Maybe easier to follow an established route for your first trip.
